Open Food Network is an open-source, not-for-profit online marketplace platform for local food, built with Ruby on Rails. It lets farmers, food hubs, co-ops, and independent food businesses set up online stores and connect with consumers and local buyers.
Use cases
- set up an online store for my farm
- run a food hub or co-op marketplace
- take a farmers market online with pre-orders
- connect local food producers with consumers
- self-host an e-commerce platform for local produce
- manage subscriptions and group buying for local food
When to choose
- you run a farm, food hub, co-op, or farmers market and need online sales
- you want a proven, community-supported platform used by 2500+ enterprises in 15+ countries
- you value open source, nonprofit governance, and sustainable food systems
When to avoid
- you need a general-purpose e-commerce store for non-food products
- you want a lightweight plug-in rather than a full Rails application to deploy and maintain
- you lack the capacity to host and operate a self-managed server
